Affected by it, Kanae Kanzaki's turbulent mood quickly stabilized, and she returned to her usual calmness.

"I see, then..."

Holding up the cup and plate in front of her with both hands, only the lukewarm tea soup surface was left, reflecting her now melancholy face.

The home dress that just covers half of the knees, implicitly and unobtrusively showing the more rounded calf curves of women after maturity, the skin without any blemishes reflects the luster of white jade in the sun; the small feet covered in slippers , Lively and gently staggered, like a mermaid going ashore.

Seemingly oblivious to the fact that her figure was being imprinted deeply in the minds of others, Kane Kane turned her face away, confirming with a childish look that she no longer doubted the question:

"I really want to ask Mr. Chios? You won't regret it, will you?"

The black-haired young man had no choice but to make a "please" gesture casually.

"As you can see, my Aria is always a concern, and without a partner who can make up for her excesses, I don't know what would have happened..."

Holding her daughter's slender shoulders and resting her chin on the girl's pink-blond hair, Kanae Kanzaki smiled sweetly and made her most urgent request:

"May I trouble you to find a trustworthy and reliable partner for her?"

As soon as these words came out, the youth's amethyst-colored eyes froze slightly.

He has been waiting for this sentence for a long time...

"Of course it's fine..."

Relying on amazing self-control to suppress the looming joy in the corner of his mouth, Chios thought for a moment, and then gave an answer:

"In fact, among the first-year students of Butei High School, there are two who are rated as S-level, and have not formed a partner or team with anyone so far."

Chapter 310 Nine? Two Choices Beyond Fate

As the great-granddaughter of Sherlock Holmes, Aria has always been aware of her embarrassing position in the Holmes family.

She failed to inherit the excellent reasoning ability of Britain's best detective, and only has a keen intuition. Intuition may be able to avoid danger, but it lacks the role of actively seeing the situation clearly. Even if combined with her mobility and combat skills, she can become a He is an excellent S-rank assault martial arts detective, but he can only be regarded as a vanguard after all.

An heir to the title who lacks the big picture and is prone to be impulsive is undoubtedly unacceptable to the noble family.

Especially with his younger sister, Mellie, as a comparison, such flaws are even more glaring.

If it wasn't for Mellie's poor health and the need to sit in a wheelchair at a young age, the position of the Holmes family heir might have been replaced.

Even in this situation, Meluette's supporters still had the upper hand, which just showed how bad Aria's situation in the family was.

Aria didn't care that much about inheriting the title of nobility. She knew that she was far inferior to her sister in terms of developing and managing the family.

However, his own insufficiency will surely become a huge flaw in the face of "Yiyou", the most dangerous criminal organization in the world.

She needed a partner like the one John Watson had had beside her great-grandfather.

Such a sense of urgency, since she came to Tokyo Butei High School, she wants to feel strong...

As a result, Aria began to investigate Butei, who was rated as excellent among the students in her same grade.

As far as she knows so far, there are two S-level evaluation students who are good at fighting in the assault department: Toyama Kinji and Tifa Lockhart de Libery; one in the sniper department: Yada Reki; There is also a special student who also majored in the three subjects of assault, sniper, and vehicle: Yishi Yadou.

If one's own partner can be produced from these people, it is naturally the most ideal thing.

The first person she tried to contact was Toyama Kinji, who was also in class A and majored in assault. Unfortunately, due to the cargo ship explosion, the other party took a long vacation to return to the ancestral home, and did not show up at school for several days.

But temporarily excluding Toyama Kinji's words, the other students have less contact with her, and how to contact her has become a problem.

Therefore, when Chios said that he could recommend two S-rank Butei as her partners, it immediately attracted all of Aria's attention...

"Tifa from the Strike Division and Reki from the Sniper Division, these two act calmly, even if they take on a mission with an LD value above 900, they can complete it smoothly..."

As he said that, Chios took a piece of crabmeat and salmon roe sandwich from the upper shelf of the three-tier snack stand and put it in his mouth.

The reason why he skipped Riko and Baixue was that apart from the fact that their Butei rating did not reach S rank on the surface, the most important thing was the issue of compatibility.

In terms of fighting style, Riko and Aria are too homogeneous, they both use two guns and two knives as weapons, and the complementarity is not strong.Besides, Lizi's really powerful abilities lie in disguise, voice change, stealing, and intelligence gathering. It is a waste to use such a spy-type talent for frontal combat.

As for Baixue, her G17 level super power is indeed powerful, but just to prevent her from seeing Aria as a "stealing cat" is a huge problem. A partner who may sneak up on her partner from behind at any time is undoubtedly inappropriate of.

The fish roe is salty and the crab meat is fresh and sweet, which neutralizes the astringency caused by the tea tannins remaining in the mouth.

Swallowing his snacks, he smiled and nodded to Kanae Kanzaki who was looking forward to him, expressing his appreciation for his craftsmanship, and then continued:

"Student Aria's action record in the Armed Police Bureau in London shows that you have a good assault ability, especially in short-range combat...Reki, who is good at sniping, can make up for the lack of long-range combat. , and provide you with cover."

"Tifa's fighting skills are extremely outstanding. She uses submachine guns and shotguns. She may be the strongest student in the school in close-range conflicts. She is gentle and rational, and both teachers and students have very positive comments on her. "

Hearing this, Aria folded her arms around her chest, lost in thought.

Chios' concise analysis has clearly expressed the respective characteristics of Reki and Tifa, and also presented her with two completely different choices...

Is it to strengthen the long-distance combat that is lacking in oneself, or to further strengthen the power of short-range conflict?

The girl looked a little hesitant, and she repeatedly heard a voice in her heart, trying to tell her:

Neither of them are the best for me.

But rationally, she couldn't figure out what a real ideal partner should look like...

"It seems that Aria-san has some difficulties in choosing..."

Seeing the tangled look on the pink-haired girl's face, the black-haired young man was not surprised at all, and naturally turned his gaze to the girl's mother.

"Let's let Ms. Kanzaki decide."

"Huh?" The brown-haired woman who was still smiling and looking at her distressed daughter a moment ago, did not expect that she would be called out suddenly, her agate-like eyes blinked and blinked.

As if not sure if the young man was joking, she held her plump breasts with bare hands, and asked unexpectedly:

"Let me decide?"

"This is just a preliminary choice, you don't need to be under too much pressure..." Seeing that Kanae Kanzaki's face turned serious, Chios showed a reassuring smile, and added in a relaxed tone:

"After all, any team has to go through running-in. If it is not suitable after several cooperations, at most it will start again."

After saying this, the mother and daughter Kanzaki in front of them immediately felt relieved.

"Well, let mom decide."

Fully agreeing to Chios' proposal, Aria stopped thinking about it, turned her face to look at Kane Kane, and obediently waited for her mother's decision.

(As expected...) The young man used the movement of drinking tea to hide the sly smile on the corner of his mouth.

He knew very well that Aria's door was his mother.

The same words, spoken by him, are still likely to be rejected under the interference of the will of the world.However, if it comes from Kanae Kanzaki, Aria will basically not refuse.

Mastering Kanae Kanzaki is tantamount to mastering Aria's every move.

This is why he encouraged Yiyou to attack the Maritime Self-Defense Force, threatening the Japanese government to improve the treatment of this woman.

"That's right..."

Implied by Chios' words, Kanesu Kanzaki put his hand on his chin in a relaxed mood and thought about it for half a minute.

"Aria is always on the rampage, if no one is around to watch her, I can't rest assured..."

Touching the head of the daughter next to her, the woman solemnly bowed her head to Chios and asked:

"If possible, Mr. Chios, please introduce Tifa to Aria."

"We really...really appreciate your help."

Chapter 320? Big... The big deal is that the teacher will open a hole for me

After achieving his most important purpose of coming here, Chios relaxed and spent a leisurely afternoon at Kanzaki's house.

Declining Kanae Kanzaki's invitation to have dinner together, he knew that the relationship between himself and the mother and daughter of the Kanzaki family had not yet developed to that close, even if he was kind to each other.

Besides, since Chios is here today in the name of a family visit, staying too long may easily arouse the vigilance of the Japanese government.

Enjoying the prestigious British nobility comes with the responsibilities and concerns that come with it...  

Accompanied by Kanae Kane and Aria, Chios walked out of the house.

The sky dyed bluish red heralds the arrival of dusk.

"It's a pity that Mr. Chios is leaving now..." Looking at the back of the young man who was about to leave, the brown-haired woman sighed softly, showing a trace of frustration.

"Could it be that you dislike my cooking?"

Looking back to see the other party's disappointed expression, Chios was stunned for half a second, but he quickly saw that the other party was joking from his twinkling onyx eyes.

She is no longer a girl in the cardamom age, so how could she not even know her cooking skills?

"You worry too much..." In line with Kanzaki Kanae's performance, the young man denied her conjecture in a gentlemanly manner, and replied in a teasing tone:

"The delicacy of the afternoon tea snacks has proved Ms. Kanzaki's superb cooking skills. I believe that I have eaten countless sandwiches, puffs, and cakes under your hospitality, and I am qualified to make a fair evaluation, right?"

"Oh~"

The woman put her left hand in front of her small mouth to hide her smile, and raised her right hand to make a gesture in front of her, with an appearance of "how exaggerated as you said".

"Ms. Chios is a young man after all, so it's okay to eat more."

"Energy doesn't disappear by itself. You don't think I can burn such a huge amount of calories without moving?"

I don't know what was associated with the word "activity" mentioned by the young man, Kane Kanzaki's gentle and mature pretty face flushed slightly.

Seeing her mother suddenly blushing and silent, although Aria didn't understand the deep meaning, she was very aware of the fact that her mother was at a disadvantage.

"You are not allowed to bully mom!"

With her hands on her hips, the tip of her already sharp eyes became more fierce with her emotions, and the pink-haired girl stared at the young man's purple eyes.

"Be careful I'm opening a hole for the teacher!"

"It's too much, I've always treated Aria with kindness..." His eyes were sad, and Chios lightly touched the center of his eyebrows with his fingers, leaving the pink-haired girl with a melancholy side face.

"I give you my heart, but do you want to hurt me in return?"

Such sad words were spoken in a pure voice, which immediately made the young lady of the Holmes family panic.

No matter what, the remarks just now were all unkind, and she had no way to defend herself.

"Big...big deal..." His mind was in a mess, and in desperation, Aria could only respond in the most fair way in his mind:

"I also asked the teacher to make a hole for me afterwards, so it will be evened?"

"Aria!?"

Kanae Kanzaki was not calm this time, she poked her daughter's forehead with her index finger and reprimanded her severely:

"What are you talking about...Girls must learn to be reserved, have you forgotten what your mother taught you?"

"Ugh, I'm sorry, Mom..."

Even though she didn't understand why she was being taught a lesson, Aria, who always obeyed her mother, still apologized calmly.

Watching the interaction between the mother and daughter, Chios couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I will visit again when I have the chance. If there is any temporary need, the two of you can also contact me by mobile phone..."

He took out the mobile phone in his pocket and shook it, then changed the subject, not without regret:

"However, without good wine, as a place to stay, it still loses a lot of color. I will send someone to deliver some good drinks to the house. In this way, at least the next time I come to the door, I can barely have a drink that matches Ms. Kanzaki's cuisine. ."

Hearing these words, Kanae Kanzaki showed a subtle smile, however, the woman's slightly curved eyes faintly showed her true happiness at the moment.

It is more difficult to get a wine recognized by the Earl of Pembroke than to win a Michelin star.

It is an honor that ordinary people dare not accept to say that the wine of this level is worthy of their cooking.

"Then, looking forward to our next meeting, Ms. Kanzaki..."

After leaving such a sentence, Chios walked across the flagstone walkway in the courtyard, came to the Toyota Crown Century sedan parked on the road outside the iron gate, and boarded the car respectfully served by the driver.

Watching the car go away, Kanae Kanzaki led her daughter back to the house.

The line of sight outside the house was also withdrawn.

...

On the back seat of the car, Chios consciously summoned the emblem light curtain.
